SINGAPORE - Ground-up efforts by Singaporeans in the past year - cooking meals for the needy and translating vital Covid-19 updates for others, and more - exemplified Total Defence efforts that will help Singapore overcome and emerge stronger from the pandemic, said Senior Minister of State for Defence Zaqy Mohamad on Monday (Feb 15).
Speaking at the Total Defence Day 2021 commemoration event at the Singapore Discovery Centre, Mr Zaqy highlighted the importance of Singapore s national defence framework of Total Defence.
He said everyone in the country has played a part in containing the outbreak of the virus here and helping others.
On Oct. 2020, the Singapore Discovery Centre reopened after six months of renovation.
The edutainment attraction has since added several new attractions, including a laser tag arena and an escape room, as well as revamped its exhibition gallery.
What’s more, there are several unique programmes which it is running in conjunction with Total Defence Day.
For those of you who are keen to rediscover Singapore, here’s our own one-day itinerary at the centre to help readers best enjoy these new features and maximise their experience.
